BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION OF YOUR PLAYGROUND,
PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY.
BEFORE BEGINNING
SITE REQUIREMENTS
The Playground system is designed to suit a level site. Should there be any falls
or slopes on the site; care should be taken to accommodate the entry and exit points
and to maintain the correct height. There should not be more than 3” of drop in grade
per every 10’.
The site must be inspected for natural obstacles such as roots or rocks that may
be a trip hazard, poor drainage and sharp objects such as glass.
Every state has different rules and regulations governing digging, some are
stricter than others. In addition, 62 separate One Call Centers serve different
areas of the country; now 811 will connect you directly to your local One Call
Center. Prior to digging, be sure to call 811 or the local One Call Center to
prevent accidentally disrupting local utility service.
MAINTENANCE:
As an owner, it is most important that you are aware of your responsibility to
insure safe use of your new equipment. It is necessary to install equipment
according to the installation instructions provided and inspect the equipment at
regular intervals. During inspection, if any part is found damaged or excessively worn,
equipment should be closed immediately. A maintenance section is included in the
appendix of this instruction booklet.
If a part is missing or damaged the playground must be put out of service while
the part is replaced. Lack of maintenance will result in premature wear, reduced
life expectancy, and possible failure that may result in injury.
All SportsPlay Equipment play events have been engineered to meet all
applicable safety guidelines, but if installed
Improperly, these problems may occur:
•
Entrapment gaps (between 3 1/2” and 9”)
•
String Entanglements
•
Protrusions
Make sure that any bolt end that protrudes more than 2 threads past the face of the
nut is trimmed and de-burred smoothly. Always double-check your work.
Installation must adhere to the manufacturer’s assembly manual and all other applicable
safety guidelines.
PLAY AREA:
The area immediately above and around the play structure must be free of any
obstructions such as:
•
Trees
•
Other Play Equipment
•
Buildings
•
Overhead Power lines
Make sure the play area has all the required safety surfacing and the
minimum fall zones as required by the safety guidelines. These guidelines can
be found at

safe without adult supervision!
There may be situations that require you to modify the layout or use your own
judgment. If you have any questions contact you distributor.
Reading this entire manual before beginning the installation will help you to
ensure your equipment is installed and maintained correctly.
